Sounds like this could be nerve related. The pinching, burning and "jumping" is usually caused by a nerve or cluster of nerves being interrupted by something, whether it is being pinched off for a moment, or experiencing different signals from the brain. You should speak to a physician about this and see if there is anything they can do to help these symptoms decrease.
